How to Convert AVI Files to Dicom for Free

Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine files, or Dicom (DCM) files, are specialized tagged Bitmap files formatted according to the DICOM standard for medical files. The Dicom file type is the format for digital radiology scans, and other medical digital images. The Audio Video Interleave (AVI) file type is a video formatted file. Microsoft originally created the Audio Video Interleave (AVI) file format in 1992 as a component of the Video for Windows standard. AVI files combine video with audio data to create one AVI package (file). To convert AVI files to the Dicom format, a Dicom-compatible video conversion utility is required. Several free, trial and shareware AVI-to-Dicom video conversion tools are available for download. DicomWorks, SanteSoft and DigiSoft provide free or trial versions of their products to convert AVI files to the Dicom format.
